A volvo that had the centre removed to make a stretch limo ..for another volvo of course

Nope,

It was a real production car - no mods, looked like that when it left the factory. There may be laughs when I reveal the answer in a day or two, i'll wager ..............

thats just a 2 door Volvo 242 sedan i think, didnt sell them in the UK officially but ive seen plenty of LHD ones over the years, they did a 2 door coupe as well with a lower roof, early 80's car from 81 to 86ish.

heres the coupe, was called a 262cs i think.

Ready for this?

"The Volvo 243 was a limited run of 30 cars in 1982 due to a malfunction of machinery in the Belgium Volvo factory, causing car bodies to be made incorrectly.

The cars had one left hand door, as per the Volvo 242, and two right hand doors, as per the Volvo 244. All 30 cars were completed, and were exported to Estonia for sale. They all came with a full warranty and are highly sought after today. So far, this is the only car known in the whole world that has four door car right side and coupe left side".

The Wikipedia entry has been found! Well spotted.

Just thought it might raise the odd eyebrow.
